Matt, I have had limited success with the "Metrinch" set. It's actually =
a GREAT set of tools and way high quality for the late night infomercial=
that it was sold on in the early 90's. But they quickly disappeared. Th=
ey seem to have the same sets here https://www.metrinch.tv/ now.
But the outside of a rounded nut isn't the problem in many cases, it's t=
hat the inside is somewhat fused together. That is why I only had limite=
d success.
I recently got this, and I wish I had one YEARS ago. No bolt can defeat =
it. The leads are flexible so you can make it fit into any area.

It might be a little pricey at first, but the first stud that you can re=
move without it breaking in the head it more than pay for itself!
